The Unofficial Pittsburgh Pirates Message Board

If we are going to have meaningless countdown threads like Countdown to Cutch 2000 hits and Santana Countdown to 300 HR's, why not have one more meaningless countdown thread? Why are they meaningless?? I will stop updating if they are so meaningless. _______ OK then, why is your countdown thread OK...

What took so long to start this thread? You predicted 97 losses. It seems like you like watching the team lose. You post more when they do. I get the pathology at play here. For some, the desire to vent is why they come on-line in the first place. For these folks, all the rest of see is the bitchin...

Hayes was probably thinking, "Great. That GreenWeenie guy's gonna get on my ass in about two minutes." He is batting .224 with 2 runs. I think it is about time to move on from Hayes. I think its time to move on from thinking of Hayes as being the "cornerstone" of this young team...

And the home runs just keep coming...

Quite the explosion tonight.

Anyone who saw that Eddie The Eagle movie should lose their license to review movies. )))

Or for including League of Their Own in the same breath with that other dreck.

The problem for the Padres is that the formula isn't winning right now. Or last season even...

Eduardo Rodriguez's previous 5 starts have an incredible stat line 36 innings 15 hits 4 walks 1 run for an ERA of 0.25. One of the best pitchers in the league this season, and the struggling Pirates offense tagged him for 4 runs. Hill is pitching out of his mind today, a 1 hit shutout through 6. He...

This would be the week to go to the higher ups for such a thing...

Amazing how the hitting clicks when your staff ace is pitching, and pitching well.

Cutch smashed his 294th career home run today (5/10/23). He is now tied with Maglio Ordonez and Robin Ventura for 160th place on the all time list. 6 Home runs away from 300 Cutch is 1 home run away from catching Chris Davis on the all time home run list, and 3 away from catching Freddie Freeman, a...

Joe caught stealing twice today.

The running game hasn’t been effective recently, a lot of caught stealings the last week or so.

We've been awful on the base paths.

So many missed opportunities tonight, to put more runs on the board.

4-1 Rays after 6

0-10 with runners in scoring position. Ain't going to win too many games that way.

Pittstop called it as Oviedo gets GOG SOG Velasquez - 2 McCutchen - 1 1/2 Suwinski - 1 Contreras - 1 Joe - 1 Hill - 1 Delay - 1 Keller - 1 Andujar - 1 Hayes - 1/2 Santana - 1/2 Oviedo - 1/2 GOG Crowe - 1 Holderman - 1 Oviedo - 1 I like looking at this list. It's befitting a team that has the best r...

Strange place that the Pirates are getting love: the Ask Amy (Dickinson) advice column: Dear Amy : I have an etiquette question. Is it still acceptable to refer to men as “gentlemen” and women as “ladies?” I have read that some people may take offense to the use of those words. At baseball games tha...

Pirates are now the fourth-highest scoring team in the majors.
